Our old UPVC windows were showing their age, some wouldn’t shut properly, some of the handles had come loose and some of the mechanisms were in need of attention, so I gave John a call to see what he could do.
He resolved most of the problems during his first visit, but came back a few days later to fix the last window as he needed to get additional parts.
He turned up on time, or early, on both occasions, did a good job and cleaned up afterwards.
In my opinion he knows his stuff, gives good honest advice, and isn’t trying to sell you new windows.
So it’s not like letting a double glazing salesman into your house.
He maintained that most windows “can” be fixed, and if it is fixable he can fix it, so if you do have problems he’s well worth a call.
It certainly beats the cost of replacing them for new ones – which is what I thought we might have to do.

For 10 years we have lived with misted double glazed units in drafty wooden frames. Finally a large bay window got too rotten to patch and fill so we got 3 quotes for replacing a huge bay, plus 2 other large windows. We went to a small independant firm, a national firm that alleges to 'be the best' and trader . The salesman, Steve, was super, polite and honest with no hard sell just facts and information. We opted to go for Residence 9 windows as they combine the durability of uPVC with the look of traditional wooden casements. For standard uPVC, trader ' price matched the small independant. However, what was more notable was that we could get the far superior Residence 9 windows from trader for the same price as the major national was going to charge us for their bog standard PVC frames! (And this was with a 50% discount in one of their perpetual sales!)
We were kept up to date with dates for fitting. The fitters did a grand job AND tidied up as they went - properly!
We will be using trader again and have NO hesitation recommending them for their value for money, quality of product and excellent service. Bravo trader .

I called John after I was let down by another company.
He replaced 3 failed Double Glazing units & also made good the seals around the frames.
He did a good job for a reasonable price.
I would use him again.

This company has just fitted 2 new upvc bedroom windows to my house. From start to finish they were professional and fair. Their quote was the best of four I received, with no haggling or special offers and the materials seem to be of a very high quality.
The fitters arrived early on the agreed day and worked quickly and efficiently, leaving no mess and taking the old windows away.
They seem to care for their customers too. I had a small problem with a stiff easy clean hinge which I reported via the satisfaction survey sheet the workmen left with me. I received a phone call within just a few days and a service engineer visit was immediately arranged.
I am really happy with this company and recommend you to get a quote from them if you need new windows etc. I do not think you will be disappointed.

We contacted John Walker about some misted windows in our hard wood bay windows, he can promptly gave us a good price and replaced the five windows, his work was very good, he cleaned up after and advised us about a glass splash back for our kitchen. He advised us on how to prevent the windows misting up again.

Rainbow fitted my front door earlier this year. I was really pleased with the service. The door was fitted efficiently, and the finish of the workmanship was to a very good standard. They also tidied up after themselves which was very much appreciated.

An excellent service from start to finish. Patrick Tighe showed us the product & gave us a very reasonable price. Product is top end spec as confirmed by fitters who have worked for well known nationwide companies. Jim & James (father & son) fitted product. Arrived as expected & work was completed to our utmost satisfaction. We can fully recommend this company.

Bennions fitted 5 new windows and a door for us, having read the which recommendations. I can only repeat what others have said. The initial quote and advice was given with no fancy "discounts", was excellent value and gave us some ideas based on what we wanted, not what they wanted to sell. Sam, the friendly salesman of the family firm even adjusted some poorly fitting garden studio doors for us----totally outside any contracted work!
The fitting team came on time, worked efficiently, made an excellent job, took away all the waste and were pleasant, cheerful and finished the work in a day.They take a pride in their workmanship.
I cannot recommend Bennions highly enough!

I found MPD through Which? Local and I'm very pleased I did.
From beginning to end Mick did a fantastic job. His quote was competitive, no pressure or fuss. We were replacing 90 year old original widows and we wanted replacements that would be a close match. Mick assured us that he would be able to replicate the original frames and he was absolutely right. We are very pleased with the results. Installation was clean, speedy and efficient. We wanted quality windows and quality service and that's what we got. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending trader

Used Paul and his son to make some fitted wardrobes, which were of excellent quality and design. A Very competitive quote and not at all pushy. Very clean and tidy workers.
If you want quality at an affordable price give Paul a ring.
